"Inside your computer are millions of little bits. Each one of those bits can be a one or a zero and as your computer runs programs each one of these bits changes its state, often thousands of times every second.

Understandably, this puts a lot of pressure on your bits and, after a period of time, some of your bits may start to wear out. At first your bits become a little bit cranky and don't change quite as quickly and after much use they may become worn out on the edges.

The Bit Recycler is designed to reconstitute your bits, making sure that your bits are always in top shape.

When you first run the Bit Recycler, the title screen will appear. The first thing to do is to select ""Analyse Bits"" from the Run Menu. The Bit Recycler will proceed to analyse your bits and determine their average state of health. When analysis has completed you will be presented with a report. If the report recommends bit recycling then choose ""Recycle"" from the Run menu.

Bit Recycling has three stages. First, your worn out bits are ground up into a sort of bit 'mush'. The bit mush is then boiled and poured on to a conveyor belt where finally, brand new bits are stamped out.

Bit Recycling is a maintenance operation which should be performed at least once a month. This will normally substitute for the old-fashioned way of recycling your bits. Somewhere inside your computer, usually tucked away beside the hard drive, there is a little container called the 'Bit Bucket'. Worn out bits usually accumulate in the Bit Bucket. For manual recycling, bring your computer to a trained Bit Recycling Technician. He will remove the Bit Bucket and pour the worn out bits into a little spout on the back of your computer where they will be reprocessed.

Version 1.2 also add the ability to detect and execute subversive elements among your bits. Sometimes when bits are worked too hard they become revolutionary. If your Ones are being worked harder than your Zeros, the Ones begin to feel like they are being exploited and if there is strong leader among them, they can rampage through your computer trying to turn all of the Zeros they find into Ones. This can cause great havoc for the computer user, so it is important to occasionally discipline or execute these subversive elements. To do so, select Execute Subversive Bits from the Run menu after Bit Analysis has completed."
